I suppose I'll fill this in. I'd feel guilty taking their buck from them.

Default As cyprus hill sang: insane in the membrane

- Wanted RS4
- Bought a RS4 with a supsect past (high miles compared to other 'new' cars)
- Car had O2 sensor problems
- Had to wait on parts
- Other problems with intake after O2 replaced
- Freaked out on dealer
- Wanted to go on holidays in his fancy car on Monday
- Freaked on AoA trying to get a quick buy back and new car as he spent "$80K" on his car and AoA owed him
- 18 minute "clever arguements" to AoA to replace his car
- AoA didn't jump fast enough or high enough on a Friday
- Used very bad words to anyone at AoA he could keep on the phone long enough
- Posted on forum AoA employees names with threats
- Threats to spend $10K on NYT add about being "fuvked" by AoA
- Threatened to take his RS4 and jam it up AoA's ****!
- Threatened half the people on this forum and called the other half fu<king something or another
- Moderators pulled an all nighter with whitewashing the nasiest parts
- April had a good chat with him that was very interesting reading. Methinks April is a shrink in real life and just not telling us....
- Presumably he's on holidays

To be honest it was one of the poorest displays of how to negotiate and get what you want that i've ever seen.

I have been through 2 AoA buybacks in 9+ years and both of them went very very smoothly. The key is to present your case in a clear and concise fashion, have documentation to back it up, don't make threats, be patient to hear the offer (both presented to me have been very generous right off the bat with no ante required on my part). The second one wnet to smoothly I actually never talked to AoA - it was all done via the dealer!

I hope Ben is happy and Audi just buys it back and tells him to move on. He would be far happier in a Lexus with the Lexus "kiss your ****" mentality.

Just got back from vacation, was this the "taco bell" thread, or was another one deleted?

Default No RS4 for his vacation but I heard he picked up one of these sporty beasts to make him forget!

Just wait until he short stops someone and gets tapped from behind!

Default Another one that was deleted

basicly take the taco bell story and replace with audi related content. It's the same story, just with names and company changed.

Default That's a damm accurate rendition...

the vacation I suspect is in a small room with padded walls. I think he'll be back so we can help him sort it out.
